If you look on http://test.kernel.org/, you'll see in the rightmost column there's a yellow box under elm3b70 for 2.6.13-rc4-mm1, but current mainline kernels are all green (ie no problems). That means one test failed, in this case making an fs on the spare partition. Odd. I went digging ...
Looks like this got introduced between 2.6.12-mm1 and 2.6.12-mm2 Sorry, should've caught it earlier. I'll blame OLS or something. This is an 8x power4 box running "bare metal" (ie not on top of the hypervisor). seems /dev/sdc1 doesn't exist. 07/31/05-02:44:32 processing command: (5) 'fs --partition=1 --mkext2fs --mount -l /mnt/tmp' n format PARTITION='/dev/sdc1' mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) mkfs.ext2: No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size 07/31/05-02:44:32 fs: creating filesystem ext2 Failed rc = 1 Looking back at the bootlog (http://test.kernel.org/9609/debug/console.log), I see it really not looking very happy (snapshot below).
